| Research Abstract |
The main subject of our research project is the constructive sapect of the Inverse Galois theory, and our aim is to develop the systematic method to construct the family of abelian equations, which has been one of the central problems in number theory. In this research work we focused our interests to the case of cyclic equations. We proposed a new idea to make a geometric generalization of the so called Gaussian period relations in the theory of cyclotomy. Namely making use of the mechanism by which a cyclotomic polynomials give rise as irreducible polynomials of Gaussian periods, we introduced e independent variables y_0,【triple bond】y_<e-1> and constructed e^2 rational functions u_<ij> of y's, in the similar way as the cyclotomic numbers are defined. Then we proved that Q(y_0【triple bond】y_<e-1>) is a cyclic extension of Q(u'_<ij>s). By this way, we have succeeded to construct small degree e a parametric family of cyclic polynomials of degree e ; especially for e=7, we found, a simple family whose coefficients are integral polynomials in our parameter n with constant term n^7. This gives an essentially new development in the so called Lehmer project. We remark that this result gives also a partial answer to the famous 12th problem of Hilbert's, which requires to construct abelian extensions over given number field,
